Key global research that is unlocking the secrets to coatings on polymer substrates is summarized and discussed.
State-of-the-art harvesting materials and structures are presented with a focus on characterization, fabrication, modeling and simulation, and durability and reliability.
A detailed analysis of existing optimization methods, and discussion on the virtues and shortcomings of each method with respect to the various transduction principles such as energy harvesting and actuation, is presented.
The recent academic progresses as made on the three major themes regarding preparations, characteristics and applications of liquid metal materials are reviewed.
A new concept to solve the ductility problem of SPD-processed magnesium alloys was examined by using a ZK60 magnesium alloy processed by high-pressure torsion to obtain an HSHD material.
This work illustrates the importance and utility of considering the geometry and arrangement of the components of a composite material in addition to the properties of the component materials and shows how simply the design of the architecture can lead to accessing new desirable combinations of properties.
